Derek Sherrod will get his first NFL start today as the Green Bay Packers decided to make starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga inactive for the home opener against the New York Jets.

Bulaga sustained an MCL injury in the season opener at Seattle. He returned to practice this week in a limited role. Sherrod was the Packers 2011 first-round draft pick but broke his leg in two places during his rookie season.

Starting linebacker Brad Jones also is inactive with a quadriceps injury. He will be replaced in the starting lineup by Jamari Lattimore. Jones was one of four Packers defenders to play every defensive snap against the Seahawks.
